The idea of getting an iphone is to be able to use it as it was built, sold and marketed. Having to only use half of the functions to keep battery levels up is only worth half the cost. It is false advertising.

For example, I also have both the 3G and 3GS and both batteries suck! It "seems" better when turning off 3G, Bluetooth, and everything else, but I want it to do what it was built to do! So, that means, everything should work, for as long as I want, and the battery life should last at least as long as advertised!

The camera and the video lacks the ability to zoom without using a separate app. There's no way to make changes to video/camera quality depending on the place your taking the picture.

When listening to an ipod, then going to the camera, the ipod stops. This is true with other apps. One stops when you use a different one - not exactly "multi-tasking".

After using a Tilt with all these features and more, using the iphone has been a bit of a letdown except for the functionality with all the apps available. Don't get me wrong - I like the iPhone, I just expect more.

I hope the new version comes out with a lot more feature upgrades and besides, since AT&T is charging us for the ability to send and receive MMS, they should provide it "now" or refund the money. -- Just my humble thoughts. -b

Does anyone know if it’s easy to understand Apple SDK with only an understanding of Flash, CSS, Java, Etc.? Do I need to be a C++ guru?

Is this update supposed to fix the problems people are having with new photos or screenshots not showing up in their camera roll? I hope so. Mine just started doing it and it’s driving me insane. I personally know seven people it’s happened to already.

I have both the 3G and the 3G S. Both of the are running the 3.0 software and the battery on both of them drains real quick and I’m not usings push notifications (they are turned off) and I even shut off push in mail, wifi and 3G but that didn’t help. While I could charge the iPhone before I went to sleep with 2.2.1 and then put it next to my bed and still having almost 100% battery life in the morning with 3.0 it’s not anywhere close to that. When I’m lucky the next morning I have like 70 percent left (all the battery intensive stuff is turned off), sometimes only 50% on both phones

When did 36 hours start = three days… but anyway.. I too could use a battery boost, and would welcome the wifi fixes.
